I am in the last stages off getting my A series together and would like to ask whats the best way to hook-up the oil lines for the turbo? Should i weld a pipe to the sump? or is there another way to feed the oil through.
Also any pics would be great !!!

A T-piece on the oil pressure sender for oil feed, and weld a tube (I reckon a rocker cover breather cut out of a spare rocker cover would do it) into the top of the sump below the turbo. I had one which had a bolt in oil drain, so you just had to drill a hole in the sump and bolt it in, looked like an easier proposition than welding.

I used a hydraulic fitting which has those non-return ridges on it, and a blank piece on the one side, you hack it of at an angl, to further facilitate he oil running into the sump as quick as possible. Also try to make the drain as big as possible, it really can't be to big.

Cheers guys, i had an idea already but a guy told me to access the oil from the side of the block somewhere. (to have a look) i know old holden motors have plates on the side that go to the oil.

I have seen a pic here where somebody had accessed the oil from the side of the block. Though, t-piece must be much easier. I bought a t-piece, a hose and connectors a while ago: http://meksiko.org/datto/letku1.JPG

id put a piccyof mine up but the photosare down, the way i did itr was use a t piece for the feed and used the fitting that comes of the engine intake (connects for pollution control) the fitting has a pea in it so u just grind the end of a little and it falls out, as for fitting it u can use a metal spike the same size as the fitting and punch the side of the sump up high as possible, then use a thread making bit(cant remember what there called) and then screw it in use some locktight and bobs not your uncle. by doing this it saves you taking the sump off to weld it plus because its a punch there is no swarf. i think that all makes sense. when the piccies up back up online ill post one
